PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Joseph R. Wood appeals in No. 91-2376 from the district court's order entering judgment for the government in its declaratory judgment action against Wood's wrongful death claims concerning his wife. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny the motion for a transcript and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* United States v. Wood, No. CA-90-1485-N (E.D. Va. Oct. 23, 1991). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
No. 91-2376-AFFIRMED No. 91-2381-DISMISSED
In No. 91-2381, the government appealed the district court's award of sanctions against the United States. The government then filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the appeal. We grant the motion
